Couple of ?? for Weekend projects

Hello all, I recently have had the chance to get my fathers 69 chevy back on the road. After fixing the shifter and the clutch and brakes etc. It is in the shape to get it titled and registers and emissions blah..

Anyway. I have a couple of small projects to tackle this weekend in order to make this thing a semi daily driver and need your guru's advice!/knowledge!

1. I bought a new center belt for my bench seat to go on my toddlers car seat. (mom says she can ride if she is in the center) It looks to be a universal type dealie I got from the local truck shop. How hard is it to put one of these bad boys in?

2. I bought a new printed circuit board so my dash would light up correctly again, as the old one was torn. I suppose I could use some new brighter bulbs while im at it. Any suggestions to fit the stock holders? Id prefer not to go LED right now due to the cost of the bulbs. Thanks!

3. Steering box/Steering wheel. Now this I probably wont get to this weekend, but info is info non the less.. There is about 3/4 to 1" of play in the steering wheel and pops says the box is just old and worn. is it better to rebuild or buy a new one? (manual steering btw) Is there a website that sells parts or kits to rebuild? and the standard stock wheel is what? 17 or 18"? a portly fellow like me wont have too many problems wheeling one thats 15" or so with new tires and manual steering should I?

Thanks for all your responses in advance! this website is always full of the best info.
